Good morning list,
Recently on the list there was discussion on how to take the e mail
addresses /characteristics of mail marked as spam from Thunderbird and
modify SA rules. I can't seem to find the notes on that.
1) Am I understanding that correctly?
2) Where might I find that reference?

I thought someone else might help out here, but no takers yet. :(
SA rules aren't actually modified. You're talking about the bayes
database which SA uses to learn about what's spam and what's not. The
sa-learn program updates the bayes database with tokens from spam
messages, and ham messages. That way, it stores up characteristics of
spam and ham, which helps it to decide whether a message is likely to
be spam or not.
There are (static) rules then, which give normal points to messages
based on the bayes probability. In order to weigh bayes scoring a
little more heavily, I have modified these values in my local.cf file
as follows:
# adjusting these scores gives bayes more weight
# commented values are the defaults
# score BAYES_00 0 0 -2.312 -2.599
# score BAYES_05 0 0 -1.110 -1.110
# score BAYES_20 0 0 -0.740 -0.740
# score BAYES_40 0 0 -0.185 -0.185
# score BAYES_50 0 0 0.001 0.001
# score BAYES_60 0 0 1.0 1.0
# score BAYES_80 0 0 2.0 2.0
# score BAYES_95 0 0 3.0 3.0
# score BAYES_99 0 0 3.5 3.5
score BAYES_00 0 0 -2.612 -2.899
score BAYES_05 0 0 -1.110 -1.110
score BAYES_20 0 0 -0.740 -0.740
score BAYES_40 0 0 -0.185 -0.185
score BAYES_50 0 0 0.001 0.001
score BAYES_60 0 0 1.5 1.5
score BAYES_80 0 0 3.0 3.0
score BAYES_95 0 0 4.0 4.0
score BAYES_99 0 0 5.1 5.1
HTH.
Can you use specific words or phrases? If so where do you put those?
No. Don't go there. Just let the bayes database and learning process do
its thing. Don't try to micro manage it.
